Gold Medal & Trophy - Champion Sauvignon Blanc - New World Wine Awards
"This consistently outstanding Sauvignon has featured regularly in the Top 50 over the years. And this year’s rendition is another cracker, winning the best-in-class Champion honour. Powerfully expressed with passionfruit, kaffir lime, sweet basil and kiwifruit flavours with excellent fruit intensity and vibrancy, making it a delicious partner to grilled seafoods."
5 Stars - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
It’s bursting with passionfruit, feijoa, rockmelon and lemon/lime zest aromas, leading to a delectably expressed palate that’s succulent and vibrant. Offering terrific fruit purity and intensity, finishing long and satisfying."
93 Points - Cameron Douglas MS
"Pungent, fresh, classic and very enticing bouquet filled with scents of fresh herbs and pink grapefruit, tropical fruits and red apple. On the palate is a wine of equal intensity with a core of fruit showcasing flavours of apple and lemon, white fleshed tropical fruits, nettles and fresh green herbs. Acidity is as powerful as the fruit and with a satin texture this is a wine of clarity, purity and charm. Best drinking from late 2022 through 2025."

Winery description
"The Sauvignon Blanc for this wine is grown in the Dillons Point and Wairau sub-regions, known for expressive aromatics and ripe fruit flavour. We believe these sites grow the best Sauvignon Blanc in Marlborough. Our winery is the only facility in this sub-region, meaning our grapes are immediately pressed after harvest, minimising skin contact. This allows us to capture all the expressive aromatics and fruit flavour, without bitter phenolics. After pressing, the juice was settled and then cool fermented in stainless steel to retain the vibrant flavours and aromas. We use a variety of yeast strains to provide palate weight and complexity."

Always a crowd pleaser and big medal winner. NZ Sav at its best!!
